How Incriminating is Your Twitter Account? There’s an App for That!

To help you keep your online identity squeaky clean, a new Twitter application created by developers at the University of Hanover in Germany has your back.

It’s called FireMe! And it sends out an alert to your account as soon as it detects a Tweet that your boss would frown upon.

“Tracking messages is done through an algorithm that scans for telltale phrases indication someone had tweeted something negative about an employer,” according to RT news.

Incriminating tweets are categorized into:

Haters

Horrible bosses

Sexual Intercourses

Potential Killers

Despite all the horror stories about employees who were fired because of inappropriate social media posts, it turns out that FireMe has already proved itself useful.

Digital Trends reported that 4,304 FireMe! tweets were sent out in the last three weeks. That’s nuts! The app can also go back up to 100 of your last weeks and spit out a FireMeter score of how often you mentioned your job negatively.
